Yes, after several decades of mystery and numerous resales, John Lennon's watch has finally been returned to his partner Yoko Ono. Although several newspapers claimed that the disappearance of the 18-carat yellow gold watch remained mysterious, the luxurious Patek Philippe suddenly resurfaced in Geneva. What really happened to this exorbitantly valuable jewel?

The famous singer had “disappeared with his watch” even though it had been given to him in 1980, two months before his assassination, by his wife Yoko Ono. After her death, she inherited the famous car and carefully kept it in a locked room before her driver Koral Karsan was suspected of having stolen it. The jewel is then sold to an Italian collector for 600,000 francs, who knows its origin but is careful not to inform the widow. It was only in 2014, when he presented it to a Geneva company for valuation, that Yoko was notified. In shock, she takes the necessary steps to recover it but the collector refuses to admit his wrongs and affirms that the watch was never stolen since no official document proves it.

Finally, after several investigations, Yoko won the case and the Geneva courts concluded that she was indeed the legitimate owner of the watch. Phew! The sacred watch is returned to him, a gift which is particularly precious to him since the back of the Patek Philippe is engraved with a song composed with his beloved.
